A win by 53 runs, they do a well deserved lap of honour, committed fielding and bowling, the fielding certainly must have saved 30 or more runs
Sri Lanka had won the toss on this slowish wicket and asked Kenya to bat, perhaps that was the decision that went awry?
This group is now wide open and Kenya are on top with Kenya 4 3 1 - - 12 -0.398 548/148.3 496/121.2
Celebrations are in order for them and some strategic thinking for Sri Lanka
Please stand by for the description of the ceremony and man of the match awards
Presentations on now
Jayasuriya invited after the famous Kenya olympic champ, Kip is introduced. Jays says one of the worst matches he has played and is disappointed. The batters did poorly we were playing like amateurs today. Hopes to come back and play good cricket
Tikolo called in and says we will think of who to beat next after celebrating, says bowlers did well and the fielders. Has a special work for the young leggie Collins Obuya
Thanks the crowd
Man of the Match is Collinf Obuya
Thats all folk, hope you enjoyed this as much as we did, good night all
